I have a 9 month old baby boy who weighs 10.5 kg. He had his first asthma attack since he was on his 6th. Monthly he would had his attacks. His first pediatrician prescribed him 1 nebule Salbutamol (Ventolin) and 1/2 nebule Budesonide (Asmavent) every 4 hours, Prednisone (Prolix) 2.5ml 2x a day, Pocaterol HCl (Meptin) 2.5ml 3x a day and Cefixime (Tergecef) 1.5ml 2x a day. Then I went on a second opinion pediatrician, she prescribed Ceterizine (Allerkid) 1ml before bedtime, Salbutamol-Ipratropium (Duavent) 1 nebule for every 6 hours, Erythromycin (ilosone) 2ml 3x a day and Montelukast (Kastair) 1 tablet before bedtime. I had a neighbor whose her baby is taking Montelukast for almost 2 years now. She said his son had no longer attacks. My question is, is it okay for my baby that I will gi...

Is Prolix (Prednisone) 20mg an effective dosage for severe psoriasis? If so, how long will it take to see improvement in my psoriasis? ## You should take it as instructed by your doctor, but it may take a few weeks, before you see any improvement. The NIH lists the typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, acne, fluid retention, weight gain, nervousness, and insomnia, How long will you be taking it?

what size needle would you use to give prolixin inj. IM? ## Hi Tammy, According to the prescribing label for this medication, "Prolixin Decanoate (Fluphenazine Decanoate Injection) may be given intramuscularly or subcutaneously. A dry syringe and needle of at least 21 gauge should be used. Use of a wet needle or syringe may cause the solution to become cloudy." My reference for this information is linked below: NOTE: I would recommend reviewing the entire article in the link if this is your first time using this medication. I hope this info helps!

What is this pill? i was prescribed it for skitzophrenia. i have been prescribed it in the past but never looked like this. i was wondering if the pharmasist gave me something else other than what was prescribed by accident. the bottle says 5 mg fluphenazine. its suppose to be a generic form of prolixen. ## Just to confirm, your pill is indeed Fluphenazine hydrochloride (5 mg).

Is it the same as prilosec? ## I don't think so: Prolixin Decanoate contains the active chemical Fluphenazine. Prilosec contains Omeprazole. So you see, those are 2 completely different chemicals / drugs. Thanks, George

Through a series of medical blunders I inadvertently was flung into a prolixin study. I first was misdiagnosed with manic depressiveness. I perhaps had social phobias, but much more essentially was the recipient of childhood sexual abuse, beginning around one and a half or two. Because of auditory hallucinations, which I am convinced was result of lithium toxicity, this being the 1970's and testing was more imprecise, also my treatment was supervised by a university psych. intern. I never previously had experienced anything of the sort, but this was used to justify prolixin use. however, I was in the study population half not given side effect medication and experienced horrendous neuro-muscular side effects, rendering me unable to function as a student, eventually becoming homeless...
